[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]I am making my very first AS3 game, and though it’s quite simple I’m having trouble setting up a scoring system.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]The concept of the game is simple. Objects appear on the screen, clicking the objects adds points. For this project I am working with 3 AS files, a Document class and two movieclip class files. I would also like to track how many objects have been added to the stage in addition to the score which should track how many objects have been clicked.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]Here is my Doc Class[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=verdana]ActionScript Code:

           stage.addChild(newCarrot);

     
      createTomato = new Timer(1000);
      createTomato.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, sendTomato);
      createTomato.start();
